Benjamin  The right pesting gun for the job

So, I took weevils advice and ordered a Akela Max from Rich over at Airgun Revisions (But in .22 caliber- I have a lot of pellets).

I just wanted to relate my experience with the gun and AR Revisions. Upon receiving the gun, I noticed that the barrel was not exactly parallel with the air reservoir. It came with a barrel band, so I loosened it up and corrected the condition. I thought this was caused by rough shipping since the included pellets had badly bent shirts.

I then cleaned the barrel and mounted the scope. I went out and sighted it in at 30 yards but could not get it to group well. I brought it to the bench for disassembly and inspection and sure enough- rotating the barrel in the receiver showed it to be bent. AARG!

In this day and age it’s hard to find anything resembling good customer service. I was surprised then how quickly and professionally Rich responded: He immediately emailed me a return label and had the gun back to me in about 10 days even though he had to order in the new parts. He kept in touch and communicated so I knew what to expect. He personally checked and tuned the rifle to his (and Mine) satisfaction. Thank you Rich!

Being winter and in a snowy northern location, I’ve not been able to spend much time setting up and testing. But, my first time out, I was able to get 1 to 1 ½” groups at 70 yards.

The gun holds air and is ready for spring.

Those starlings are in for a big surprise.

Thanks for the good advise!

Tuning  Paul Watts

Finally got around to shooting the D54 today. Threw a Hammers “springer” scope from Amazon on it so we’ll see how long it lasts. Ended up adding 4 gaskets behind the barrel weight for harmonics control/accuracy. The trigger is good; lots of take up but breaks fairly cleanly.

I really enjoyed shooting it today, but I’m pretty certain that I was loading it the “wrong” (not the safest) way. There is a ratcheting safety, but I shouldn’t depend on that.

I started my crazy airgunning obsession with PCP, but had I gotten a springer first I might have had more of them. I just really liked grabbing the D54/pellets and being able to shoot immediately with no extra gear needed. And I didn’t find the cocking action to be annoying or tiresome.

Air Venturi  Avenge-X 22 cal. Pleasantly surprised

My Avenge-X classic in .22 cal loves the AA 16 grains diabolo fields over any JSB pellets with this particular tune, the reg is set to only 100 bar to increase his efficiency and shots per fill with O tension to the h/s

GX CS2 something to look out for

I do not use the gauge block filter as I run the black filter between the gauge block and the Marauder Pistol.
That is all I fill with the GS2.
Marauder Pistol.
45 seconds, tops, although m do round up to a whole minute.
Discussing the Marauder, I think it is time to shoot it, rain or no rain..😅

FX  FX Impact Silver X upgraded

Nice!👍 I just got finished installing the 720 PP/power block in my MK2. I didn't have any leaks at all but had to tune the stiction of the poppet shaft Oring out. I'll probably end up taking it back apart and polish the rod where it goes through that Oring plus some secret sauce (not the stuff people use it pumpers and CO2 guns) that will make it very slippery.

Benjamin  Jefferson State Air Valve

Hmm, I first installed my new edition JSAR SS valve unregulated and was getting about 940 fps average with the JSB 34 grain pellets (67 fpe). I have the JSAR MDS hammer, striker is set so that face of striker is flush to the face of the hammer, it does not protrude. Stock spring. I could get 16 shots. My rifle is a .25 caliber.

I regulated with the Houma and XXL plenum and Tim Hill gage manifold. I now have the TSS installed. I drilled the barrel to .196 and am using a poly type TP. I set the regulator for 2,000 psi. I get now 16 shots at 890 with the JSB 34 grain pellets (60 fpe) but instead of a fairly peaked bell curve unregulated the velocity is flat. If the rifle sits for several days the first shot will be slightly low but consistent thereafter.

JSAR side lever receiver, JSAR aluminum tube, JSAR MDS buffer hammer set flush, JSAR TSS, Houma reg with XXL plenum, Tim Hill gage manifold, Tim Hill short shroud, DFL adapter, DFL mod, poly tube TP and barrel drilled to .196 port, reg set at 2,000 psi, 5.9 pounds bare:



I can push it up to 70 fpe but accuracy begins to go (still decent) and one magazine+1 is all it has.

Want to start seating slugs

I want to see if I can start getting into swaging slugs without spending $3000 for a Corbin press set or presslug. I need ideas please.
@4640saba Have you tried running an AGN search using “swage,” “swaging,” “swaging slugs,” and “swaging presses” as keywords?
